BUT I have run into a major brick-wall with RB: Scrolling some text. Ticker tape/marquee style. Now I have searched high and low for anything and I have had a little success. I have managed to use DrawString to paint my text on a canvas and then map the value of the string's location to the value of a progress bar. This really doesn't work well as, if I begin the string to the complete left, then I get a "staggered" scroll: -------------------------- |String | -------------------------- becomes: -------------------------- |S S S S S S S S S String | -------------------------- I essentially want to replicate the WaveLetter example but as soon as the string finishes scrolling the application crashes. Plus I need the string to loop around, not just scroll once. So there's my problem, any help would be appreciated greatly. Thank you in advance!
